Just got in. jaysus I was absolutely bloody convinced we were going to give away an equaliser. If Wenger had called me out of the stand I would have scored at least a hatrick with Bendtner's chances. I'm 5' 8 fat and 54! :lol:

Right result but we really made it look hard work. Whatever they put in Theo's tea, twice as much for Tuesday!

Right result but should have been 6/7 if Bendtner put his mouth where is boots are.Walcott was better in the 2nd half but he's got to get his passing sorted out,it's ok passing the defender but if you can't put a decent cross in then it's pointless.Great pass by Nasri for Cesc to score but when he went off we seem to go down a gear?

I just don't want us to rely on 1 player and it was good to see Nasri and Rosicky take up the slack in the 2nd half.Was worried at 2-1 as Burnley had some pressure we give away a stupid goal( like we use to)but burnley thankfully don't have a decent striker....

Pressure on Manure & chav's so until next week.

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!!!!!!

Supernik is obviously saving his best scoring form for when we actually need it. :?

Just got home from the match, a wee bit pissed but very happy!

That was a well earned 3 points and at this stage of the season that's all that really matters. So long as we can keep picking up wins, we'll keep the pressure on the other 2 toss-pots and hopefully they will blink first.

Eboue had a storming game today and showed what a decent lad he is when he took his shirt to someone in the crowd after the whistle - never though I'd see myself saying that!!

After last week I'm determined not to be in any way critical but ----

Super Nick???? :shock: :shock: Just what is his self-belief based on cos he is no better than Lee Chapman, John Hawley or Frannie Jeffers.

Just watching it again on Sky and am really pissed off with Bendtner's attitude when subbed, laughing and shrugging his shoulders. :evil: Crunt. You should have been ashamed and apologising for nearly costing us 2 points. Twat.

To be fair to Bendtner he was apologising and seemed mightily pissed off with himself. I sit just a couple rows behind the dugout area. Haven't seen Sky clip yet but don't turn on him too quickly.

Wenger's face after each Bendtner miss just got more and more screwed up. He kept turning to the crowd looking for some sort of inspiration or a new striker.

Job done 3pts. keep the momentum going :barscarf: :barscarf:

To be fair to Nik he was as frustrated as the rest of us, time and time again he was expertly getting himself into finishing positions, and time and time again wasnt putting his chances away. His general play today was outstanding and his movement, workrate, link up play and passing was BRILLIANT..

Shame he couldnt hit a fucking barn door lol!

agree with this. it seems all the pieces are coming together for him. he just needs to score with his feet (he's already proved he can head them in) an then he (and we) will be on the way
